A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a clear rightward slant, tapered entry/exit strokes, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm where curves and diagonals lead the texture. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in proportion but still carry italic construction, while lowercase forms maintain a moderate x-height with lively ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same slanted, modulated drawing, with open counters and sharp terminals that keep the color bright despite the contrast.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy within serif text. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal invitations or programs where a classic italic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and classical bookwork. Its energetic italic flow reads as elegant and expressive rather than casual, making it feel authoritative and polished.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, traditional voice. It aims to provide a strong italic companion for book and editorial typography while remaining refined enough for display accents.
Spacing appears deliberately generous in the samples, helping the strong contrast and sharp serifs avoid clogging at text sizes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, continuous slanted rhythm in paragraphs and display lines.
